Philosophy
My Story
So, why should you invest in coaching with me?
I spent 15 years working in Education. There were many aspects of teaching that I loved, in particular, helping and supporting others: seeing a child, parent or colleague working through a problem or starting to believe in themselves was hugely rewarding and something I knew I had a talent for. However, the stresses and strains of the job started to take their toll, especially after I started a family. I felt that balancing life as a working mother (or not balancing it, as the case may be) had left me stretched thin, so thin that parts of me had become invisible.
I knew that I had to make a change and after a few failed attempts I decided to leave teaching for good. Finding the courage to do this came from a number of sources. The more I challenged myself, the more I realised I could apply this fearlessness to other areas of my life. I was slowly becoming calmer and more confident and, after experiencing life coaching myself, I gained the clarity to know that I wanted to become a coach too.
I still work as a tutor, because I will never lose my love of working with children, but I have also trained with the Co-Active Training Institute, am a Positive Intelligence Coach and have completed my Foundation Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling Skills and Theory.
My passion is still supporting children but now I do this by working with the adults that care for them (both parents and educators). I know first hand from my own experiences as a teacher and as a parent how vital it is for us to work on our own resilience and wellbeing if we want to be able to support our children.
I love helping parents and educators who:
-
Feel like they’re never GOOD ENOUGH.
-
Constantly DOUBT themselves
-
Feel STUCK because they never have the time or energy to do anything about it
Do you want to:
-
Feel CALMER and better able to cope with daily challenges?
-
Gain CLARITY about what really matters and get unstuck?
-
Build CONFIDENCE and reduce self-doubt?
